While Louisville, Kentucky is legendary for horse racing and bourbon, bubbling underneath the surface is a dark and often complicated past that sometimes spills over into the present. From an old, abandoned tuberculosis hospital to lavish five-star hotels in the heart of downtown, ghost stories abound in the Gateway to the South.

Some of the entities in these stories are friendly, while others are quite restless and mischievous. With each ghostly tale, Southern Ghost Stories: Louisville invites you to explore Derby City to see what you might find.
